Sun Valley Nordic Season Over


That’s it folks! Sun Valley Nordic Center as well as Galena Lodge are closed for the season. With Galena’s Ride, Stride and Glide over and done with (the annual closing-time triathlon in which costumed competitors ski, snowshoe then actually ride their mountains bikes in the snow), the lodge will be closed until June 13th, at which time Kids Camp, Wagon Ride BBQ's, Weekend Brunches and Sundays on the deck with Bruce Innes will kick off the summer festivities.

Galena will, however, continue to groom their Nordic trails on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays for at least the next week, but the bike path from Hulen Meadows all the way down to Bellevue has been entirely cleared of snow. Our owners are already dusting off their bikes and taking advantage of the warmer temps throughout the valley.

And while most of our die hard anglers have been wading the icy rivers all winter long, the springtime temps have brought a few more fishermen out of hiding, according to local guide shop Silver Creek Outfitters who, amongst others, is gearing up for the summer season.

For more information about what to do in and around Sun Valley, the Sun Valley Ketchum Chamber of Commerce and the Mt. Express both have extensive online lists of activities. Or feel free to contact the Les Saisons Concierge.
